Cordless battery-operated shaver just stopped working. What could be wrong?

Question

I have a battery operated shaver that requires 2 AA batteries. It is NOT a rechargeable shaver, so you just put in 2 AA batteries for it to work. Suddenly, the shaver just stopped running, even with new batteries.

What could be wrong with the shaver? Is it the motor?...how long do motors last? Should I open up the shaver's housing?

I'm not bringing it to a repair shop because they charge too much to fix things.

The shaver is clean, as I clean it regularly, so it's not clogged. I don't see any rust. It requires 2 AA alkaline batteries, and I tried the brand new batteries already, and the shaver won't work...it's not the batteries.

I opened up the housing and noticed that there was a tiny bit of corrosion on a small metal part (extends up from battery compartment). I cleaned the corrosion, and now the shaver works. So it may have been the corrosion--I'll have to keep watch over it.

Thanks for the replies.

Answer 1

1) check if batts. r in correct direction 2) check for ANY signs of corrosion around the batt contacts. 3) possibilty of defect in switch 4) IF shaver head is removable, remove it and try to turn it on again. other than that, the motor may have expired.

Answer 2

I have a shaver that plugs into the wall and it's over ten years old. Have you cleaned it recently? If it's clogged it might have over heated and shut off on its own.

Answer 3

Maybe the batteries are not aligned properly or maybe there is rust on the connection (where the battery is housed).
